Abstract

“Pennies an Hour and no Way Up” Tom Hayden and Charles Kernighan

Each day Two billion people are working for less then 2 U.S dollars. Not to mention the conditions in which they are. The problem is that owners of the sweatshops make the men, woman, and even children work so hard that sometimes they are working for 20 hours at a time. Some workers are forced to work overtime and in some cases the woman are made to take birth control because the owner’s don’t want to lose work. Most people would think that this only happens in other countries but the truth be told there are thousands of sweatshops all over the U.S. The large courtiers need to collaborate together and reach an agreement on how to fix this issue. Before I was able to read some websites I was blind to the fact that sweatshops actually hurt the country rather then help. In my paper I will mention the different ways that we as the people are able to make a difference.

P.S sorry my post is up late, I went away with my family for the weekend and was unable to get to my post until now.
